Lu Zhen bit her lip, not knowing how to respond. She couldn’t tell Ye Xuan that she had long rejected Song Jia’s feelings, right?
“By the way, there’s something else I have to tell you.” Ye Xuan sat up straight and looked at Lu Zhen. “Although I asked the teacher about the audition for Samir’s movie, this news originally came from Song Jia. He found out about this through his connections and told me. If it weren’t for Song Jia, I wouldn’t have known about this until now.”
Lu Zhen was stunned. “You mean…
Ye Xuan smiled. “Of course, from a work perspective, Song Jia should have nurtured you well and made you the company’s cash cow. However, I think that if it were anyone else, he might not be so concerned. I’m telling you this because I hope you won’t treat me as your thank-you. I’m only helping you because of work requirements.”
Ye Xuan finished speaking calmly and wiped her mouth. Seeing that Lu Zhen had also finished eating, she paid the bill. The two of them drove to the vicinity of Lu Zhen’s residence and got out of the car in advance to walk around the roadside of the artificial lake in the district.
After walking for a while, Lu Zhen couldn’t help but break the silence. “Sister Ye
Xuan, have you known Song Jia for a long time?”
Ye Xuan shook her head slowly. “When I met him, Jia Le was already on the right track and had become an entertainment company with a lot of potential in the industry. I came to Jia Le through the introduction of a senior.” After saying that, Ye Xuan revealed a knowing smile. “Why? Do you want to understand the old him?”
Lu Zhen did not deny it when her hidden thoughts were exposed. She nodded.
“He helped me a lot. Although we can’t be lovers, we’re still good friends.”
As an actress, Lu Zhen’s sharp insight made her feel that Song Jia was a person with a lot of past. Sometimes, she could see a hint of fatigue in Song Jia’s eyes.
He was always so calm and reliable in front of her, but she didn’t know him at all. She didn’t know much more about Song Jia than an ordinary employee in the company. Moreover, Ye Xuan had just told her that Song Jia had helped her get a chance to compete for the role in Samir’s movie, which made her even more uneasy.
Hence, she wanted to know more about Song Jia and see if there was anything she could do to help him. Unfortunately, Ye Xuan didn’t seem to know Song Jia very well.
After the walk, Lu Zhen returned home and Ye Xuan drove back to the company.
Although Ye Xuan had several properties in the city, she was more used to staying in the office because she liked to be efficient and portable when she woke up.
Ye Xuan’s work attitude was simply a role model in the company, so no one in the company dared to be dissatisfied with Ye Xuan’s bonus at the end of every year. When she arrived at the company, Ye Xuan went straight to the high floor. After knocking, she pushed open the door and entered Song Jia’s office.
Song Jia signed the document and threw the folder aside. He leaned against the chair and looked at Ye Xuan. “What’s the matter?”
Ye Xuan sat on the sofa casually. “It’s nothing. I just went for dinner with Lu
Zhen. I took a walk to her door and came back.”
Song Jia did not understand why Ye Xuan would suddenly mention this, so he did not speak and waited for her to continue.
Ye Xuan sighed and said, “She asked me about your past. I didn’t say much.”
Song Jia was stunned for a moment before falling into a short silence. His eyes were dark and deep. After a moment, he said in a low voice, “Yes, don’t tell her.”
Ye Xuan rolled her eyes. “What’s there not to say? You have to give her a chance to understand you. Aren’t you happy that she’s willing to understand you now?” Song Jia’s fingers slowly slid down from the metal pen. He said calmly, “There’s nothing to say about the past. She might just be curious.”
Ye Xuan stood up from the sofa and walked to Song Jia’s desk. She placed her hands on the table. “What’s going on between the two of you now? I’m really not confident about this. You know that this is a critical period for Lu Zhen’s development. I don’t want her to fall in love, but if you like her, I can reluctantly accept the two of you being together. After all, we’re in the same company. It’s better to digest it internally than for her to fall in love with outsiders in the future.
Song Jia fell silent. He didn’t know how to tell Ye Xuan that he had once shown a trace of affection in front of Lu Zhen, but she quickly rejected him.
Although he was not a man who cared about his reputation, he still could not say such a thing in front of Ye Xuan..
